Prove Your Ignorance

Europe: 82%

The countries I missed:

Andorra (Placed it too far north. Didn't have Spain or France to work with)
San Marino (Placed it too far north. Didn't have Italy yet.
Belgium (Too south, again no France yet)
Liechenstein (How the fuck am I going to place this fucking city without Germany, Switz or Austria?)
Austria (A bit too far east, didn't have Germany yet)
Belarus (Too far south)
Malta (Too far east. At least I knew it was an island south of Italy!)

Fucking program gave me Andorra, San Marino and Liechenstein as three of the first 5 countries, otherwise I'd have done better.

US Map: 47/50 Avg Error: 5 miles, Time: 214 seconds.

Missed: South Dakota (Placed 88 miles west, first state), Kansas (59 Miles west), and Kentucky (88 Miles East). Knew where they were, but had no point of reference (no boarders to work with), so was a bit off.

For a real challenge, try Level 9. Resize and rotate the states. Only the ones you missed stay. 47/50.

Europe 80% I missed all the tiny little ones including Vatican City. but Oh well.

Stupid dot cities...San Marino? I threw it in italy and got it wrong, I got vatican city right though.

I really hope Europe consolidates back after WW3, this is ridiculous. Andorra shouldn't exist as a country.

EDIT: 75% correct, so I'm not ignorant

(I can match borders, hooray for me)

I got 84 on the US, but it got me twice on my iffy placement of Alaska. And it's not fair to ask me to place colorado without anything around it.

Nick Postagulous · 06-08-2006, 09:29 AM

78 on Europe. Cheap shot on lithuania. Malta, Allwhatever in the north of Spain, hmmph.

I'm moving to Latvia.

92% on the US, but really who gives a fuck about those hicks? I got a few midwestern block states wrong.

Again, the Louisiana Purchase should all be one state, and I hope the post-WW3 map reflects that.

Missed north korea. oops.

Alabama looks like it has a flacid dick.

75% in Asia, and I had no idea about the countries. That was strictly mix and match, I only knew the general areas. And why the fuck isn't Afghanistan in the Middle East?

Anyway, the countries I got wrong don't matter. Taiwan will be nuked during WW3, I'm pretty sure China will take the opportunity to take Taiwan.

Besides, all Asia will be named China because I can't fucking tell them apart, they're all Chinese to me. Except India. Asia should consist of Russia, India, and China. Afghanistan should get the fuck out.

USA - 30/50 = 60%
Avg error = 259m

Europe - 34/45 = 75.5%
Avg Error = 148m
